Easter Bunny Truffles
Easter Bunny Truffles are a delightful treat that will add a touch of whimsy to your Easter celebrations. These bite-sized truffles are made with a rich chocolate ganache and are shaped like cute little bunnies. They are perfect for Easter baskets, dessert tables, or as a sweet gift for friends and family.
To make these Easter Bunny Truffles, you will need the following ingredients:
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 12 oz. semisweet chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- White chocolate chips or candy melts
- Pink candy melts
- Black candy melts or chocolate chips
- Mini marshmallows
- Pink sprinkles
To start, heat the heavy cream in a saucepan until it just begins to simmer. Remove from heat and add the chocolate chips, stirring until they are completely melted and smooth. Add the butter and vanilla extract and stir until well combined. Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until it is firm enough to shape.
Once the ganache is chilled, use a small cookie scoop or spoon to form small balls. Roll each ball between your palms to create a smooth surface. Place the balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet and chill in the refrigerator for another 30 minutes.
To create the bunny ears, melt the white chocolate chips or candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl according to the package instructions. Dip the mini marshmallows in the melted chocolate and place them on the baking sheet. Chill in the refrigerator until the chocolate is set.
To assemble the bunnies, melt the pink candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl according to the package instructions. Dip the chilled ganache balls in the melted candy, using a fork to coat them evenly. Place the coated balls back on the baking sheet and chill in the refrigerator until the candy is set.
Once the candy coating is set, use a toothpick or small knife to create a small indentation for the bunny nose. Melt the black candy melts or chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and use a toothpick or small knife to draw on the eyes and mouth. Attach the bunny ears to the top of the truffles using a small amount of melted chocolate.
These Easter Bunny Truffles are a fun and delicious addition to any Easter celebration. They are rich and chocolatey with a sweet candy coating and cute bunny ears. Serve them on a platter or in a basket for a festive touch.
